I think my AMS0031 VM came back to life today
Oh, the resurrected VM is now on a different node/location: RYZE.LAX-A024.VMS …
(I ran an sysupgrade on this OpenBSD just now, and that crashed mid-upgrade on full fs … So, we'll see if I can salvage that …)

There is another one on OGF 🤣
Does that one have more memes and Reddit-style attention-grabbing posts?

Not totally dark. We have heard from him, including that ticket request for LA yesterday that may have resurrected 10 nodes. He's still around. We also discussed doing some work for him in Chicago when we're there next. I don't know anything more about his plans beyond that...

Really happy to hear that he is still around. There may still be hope.
I know I'm always late to the party on these things, but on the shared side of things, VirMach no longer controls the IP my shared service was using. It's been down for months and now it's probably not coming back.
What's frustrating is that all the details seem to be in WHMCS, it is (or was) a cPanel license that costs per user and the server is online, but inaccessible. I bet a $20 Ollama subscription with GLM5.2 would let him basically run the business autonomously.
And no one better do that because that's my idea. RockinHost coming soon.

as in the IP is re assigned to a different ASN?
check my pervious reply,ip range has been assign to other provider that also selling vps based on xtom JP,maybe it is v.ps by xtom itself
Yeah, that isn't entirely surprising. If he's not getting any revenue (except I paid him $2.22 recently for a Miami VPS that amazingly still works), I can't imagine he's really able to afford the relatively large IP space Virmach had.
Frustrating thing about the shared hosting packages is that even though they started out as a dedicated IP, having something that works is far better than nothing. He just needs to do what Namecrane did and put everyone on a shared IP. Like I said, the shared server appears to actually be operational - it's reporting stats to WHMCS - but it's inaccessible due to IP reassignment.
I have to think this isn't his primary business anymore. The revenue has to be right around nothing, and he's still going to have bills to pay. He's probably busy with a new, main source of income. It would be nice to have a bit more communication from him, though.
VPS that I migrated to TYO in June still has an IP that resolves to USWest despite the control panel saying it's on TYOC025. Network config seems to be incorrect so VNC works, but there is no usable network connection.
Caught up with the discussion here. So far, only one service in New York is down (and I realized my uptime monitor was... down ) This was BF 2020 special, at < 7 dolla/ year, big loss of a cheap vps. NYCB015
I did receive the renewal notice for the storage (the BF 2024 / 250 GB plan. at 26 Dolla / 2 years not too pricey but makes me wonder...)

Looks like the nodes that going offline, broken and listed on 'Network status' page as 'known problems' will be never fixed.
Best example: ATLZ033 (broken 1+years), The whole SJZ* location, AMSD037 etc. Technically they not solve any node (probably hardware?) issue, if something goes wrong. They not provide any relevant details, not communicate with us. Not provide (free) migration, or VM "re-creation" on these case.
Now the "LAXA026" and "LAXA019" nodes gone also. -2 small VM again for me.
Probably I will simple cancel all of the offline VM's from broken nodes before the renewal date(s). Keep only the working instances until these nodes going offline too.
True. I guess hardware price is the true reason. Should at least provide the option to re-create (without data) on another location.

I remember that @VirMach had a lot of servers in good working order—for example, most of the SJC servers were functioning normally—but for some reason, he wasn't willing to put them online.

there is a guy here that had some stuff there and he was kinda sad :-D
Two shared hosting services not functional, and a few days ago the NYC VPS goes down. 0 of 3 services working. Renewal coming up on the order of $34 annual is admittedly not at all bad at $3/mo but for how many years? Web host losses are sad; content safe but engagement lost to a concurrent domain problem created the perfect storm. Sadness builds with each check for movement. The VPS is an impediment (running an unmirrored dependency) fortunately not inducing a stoppage. The shared hosting hasn't been viable for well over a year. "Patience" is quite possibly a natural reaction to long-term depression.

I found a use for my VPS that's expiring in 1 month or so: Trying out the free version of @aaPanel …
(Not sure if I should revive the old thread about Best cPanel alternatives 2023 …)
I'll chip in for a Chicago deep dish pizza dinner for you if you can bring CHIZ003 back to life
i see "Not totally dark" and "still be hope"
Hey, it should be called a cPanel alternative for 2026.
Our VirMach invoice is $0.00/month.
Half the price would be
$0.or$00— both are acceptable.NVMe2G for life!
The last flan is taken. 🍮 affbrr

Since their dashboard runs on Cloudflare, which provides automatic mitigation, there's no need to worry too much.
I think those are dead for like months, there is a guy here that had some stuff there and he was kinda sad :-D

looks like it depends on service, I also don't see migrate option on my larger box, but I do see it on a small one
270 day service extension is actually better than having a working service, right?
@VirMach hasn't extended the service period for offline servers in a long time.
Looks like vps.blackfriday will be back functioning this year
